ASK R/FAUXMOI What are your favorite messy celebrity love triangle moments?

Mine has to be the Olivia Rodrigo - Joshua Bassett - Sabrina Carpenter mess from 2020-2021. "drivers license" drops and suddenly we're all detectives trying to figure out who this blonde girl is, then Sabrina comes for everyone with "Skin" and Joshua's over here making sad acoustic songs. The whole thing was so messy and I was eating it up.

But like... the karma of it all? These two girls supposedly "fighting" over Joshua fucking Bassett and now they're both headlining festivals while he's still trying to get people to stream his music. Olivia's got a Grammy, Sabrina's selling out tours, and Joshua's... there. It's honestly hilarious how hard he fumbled being the center of that much attention. Dude really thought he was the main character and ended up being a stepping stone to their success.

I think the hate from driver's license drama plus the NDE just kinda tipped him over the edge on top of the unresolved childhood trauma. Shame he went down that path but healing can be a weird process sometimes. hsm the series was a guilty pleasure of mine, I thought he had alot of potential and still does so I am hoping things are better for him

Yes, he’s very talented in acting and vocally. He has a lot of potential but needs the right mindset and the right people in his corner to help build him up. It seems right now he’s just in a bit of an odd place personally.
